About
A restored 1930s detached house offering luxuriously appointed accommodation in a delightful and secluded town setting.
The property enjoys south-facing gardens and a heated swimming pool, all set within approximately 0.45 acres.
Originally built in 1934 of traditional brick construction beneath a plain tiled hipped roof, the house was extensively restored and remodelled to an exceptional standard in 2020.
This striking family home features perfectly proportioned rooms, many retaining original character features, and is presented to a superb standard throughout.
Set within private, south-facing gardens ideal for entertaining, the property includes a gated sweeping driveway and a stunning 10-metre heated swimming pool with a top of the range safety cover, a pool house and bespoke outdoor entertaining area.
Offered with no onward chain, the light and airy accommodation is complemented by high-quality finishes and fittings.
The original oak entrance door opens into a welcoming reception hall with an oak staircase to the first floor and access to the cloakroom.
The triple-aspect sitting room is perfect for relaxing by the fireplace while enjoying views across the gardens.
The spacious family room/study includes fitted cupboards, a large bay window to the front, and access to a separate utility room featuring a built-in basin, WC, and quartz worktop.
The stunning “live-in” kitchen/dining room creates an ideal space for entertaining.
It features a beautifully fitted kitchen with extensive drawer and cupboard space beneath sleek preparation surfaces.
High-quality integrated appliances include twin ovens (with microwave), a built-in coffee machine with warming drawer, wine cooler, two built-in dishwashers, full-height fridge, built-in freezer, and a double sink with boiling hot water and filtered tap.
A contemporary-style wood-burning stove enhances the sitting area, while stylish bi-folding doors flood the space with natural light and open onto the rear gardens.
